There are some breeds out there that most horse lovers can identify with just a single glance, others are far more difficult to decipher without further investigations.
The Ones You Know…Or Do You?

There are 10 images of mystery breeds, guess each one and check your answers at the bottom of the post…no peeking.
Can you tell the slender lines of the desert breeds from the robust build of heavy Drafts?
Well…How Did You Do?
I tried not to make it too easy, but not to make it too hard either – I also tried to keep hints in the pics to a minimum. I’d love to hear your score in the comments below and stay tuned to test yourself on the confirmations of some entirely rare and unexpected breeds.
